I keep getting calls from this number, not just once, but several times a day/week. They always ask for former employees that are no long with our institution. I always tell them that the person they are asking for is not listed in our directory and that there is no one working here by that name. It gets a bit frustrating because we go through this same routine again and again. I even recognize the same voices - sometimes a guy and sometimes a girl - both with Indian accents. I have listed my work extension into the "Do Not Call" list, but this is still happening. It drives me nuts! I have even told them to stop calling a few times. Any suggestions?
I just updated my resume on careerbuilder.com and immediately started receiving calls from three different California exchanges:
650-645-1493
213-213-1159
415-229-2325
I don't pick up any numbers I don't recognize, and they never leave a message. I'm assuming it is some sort of scam, and I may just pick up next time for the entertainment value. It would be nice if careerbuilder.com put some sort of security meassure in place so people don't have to screen their calls! I may just take my resume down from that site.
Guy called asking for my boss. I asked who was calling and he said his name was Vernon something. Couldn't understand the last part because he had a heavy Indian accent. Said he was an assistant to someone (again couldn't understand) and was with Eccentric something. Asked him to leave a number so my boss could call him back and he said he would call back. Good luck. He's hardly in the office!
